The efficacy depends on how you mix it and how many unfinished sides of the wood/timbers you can get at. for active infestation I would have your pest control operator mix 1:1 ratio(the concentrate is thick thick and needs to be warmed in warm water and mixed with hot water for a proper mix and final product spray). In general boric acid based products are some of the safest you can use. Bora-care does have an ethylene glycol component to it which acts as a carrier to take the product into the cells of the wood. Not sure of ratio... maybe the SDS would help. Once it is dry I can't imagine it harming anyone or anything except wood destroying insects chewing their way out or in. JTV

It has been brought up as a suggestion and I have never used it, nor know anyone who has. Is it effective? Safe? Would appreciate any advice.
